Confidence

&plus;−

Confidence comes mostly from hard work. If players know they have put all they can into preparing, they will feel much more confident come game time. Even in practice, going as hard as they can on every drill and in every scrimmage lets them feel their improvement and have a sense that they are earning their success. The more they see hard work paying off – even in small advances – the more confidence they gain and thus the more willing they are to put in even more toward the next level of advancement.
